OTTAWA -- As the House of Commons returns to work for the first time in months, opposition parties are pushing for an immediate debate on climate change and the need to rebuild British Columbia follow

ing devastating floods.

"Given that this type of extreme weather is more common, we need to see investments from the federal government, real proactive investments to make communities more resilient, more prepared for what is now becoming more common," Singh said.B.C. is bracing for more extreme weather a week after an "atmospheric river" pummelled the province with heavy rains triggering deadly mudslides and widespread flooding.

Ontario Liberal MP Anthony Rota had barely finished his acceptance speech after being re-elected as House of Commons Speaker Monday when he was hit with requests for the emergency debates. "All Canadians, and especially British Columbians, need to know how the government has responded to this disaster, what further actions it intends to take to restore the land transportation network and communities in B.C. and how it intends to ensure infrastructure and communities across Canada are protected from this level of destruction," he said.

They need help now. Trudeau get back to work. You have a province under water. Your government only sent 500 troops in. They need help. The last thing they will need is more Covid-19 on top of everything else. Put a stop to all the trees being cut down when this is under control.

Fishing in murky water ?

But no emergency debate on the RCMP violence against land defenders. Yeah, that's par for the course

Debate? What will they debate? A meeting would be more in order.
